Fire Dancer
by Native Flame |
|
out of BHoF On To Dancing |
17hh 11yo Bay Thoroughbred Mare
Dirt: Great Turf: Good Distance: 9-12 Furlongs
Fire comes from beautiful bloodlines. Her sire Native Flame was a monster on the track. He was a tall, beautiful bay, and was well known for his monstrous strides and courageous heart. He was a threat even to our Impressario during his racing days, which marks him as a champion. If any horse can be considered a threat to Ario, in our minds, then they deserve high honors. Fire's dam On To Dancing was one of our most prolific broodmares; as it is, Fire is Dancing's last foal. Dancing was the mother of Radiance and On To The Spotlight, both Breeders Cup winners and grade one racehorses. Radiance was a racehorse on the dirt, Onya on the turf, which shows versatility and talent in her producing ability. Fire has a lot to live up to from her parents.
Fire is tall and intimidating. Her height is a trait from her sire, and with it comes her intimidating aura. One can't help but feel awed in the presence of Fire; she is imperious, and with her imperious attitude comes arrogance. Her physical features are sleek and proud, like a lioness, with a finely chiseled Arabian style head, complete with a set of expressive eyes. One could mistake Fire's face as that of a gentler filly; this is not so, for when one sees the challenge glaring in those expressive eyes and pairs that with Fire's height, she becomes quite a bit more scary. Her eyes are her only expressive characteristic; the rest of her expressions are muted, quiet. Despite her scary exterior, she is not a hard filly to get to know. One simply has to look beyond her physical stature and aura. Fire is courageous, and deeply passionate about anything she does. She puts her best hoof forward at all times, and tends to make good decisions. She is calculating and intelligent. However, this intelligence makes her imperious. You have to treat Fire just the right way in order to get her to trust you; if treated in this way, she becomes very easy to know, and easy to predict. You just have to put the puzzle together.
Leg Type: Mid Pack
Fire is a midpacker. She doesn't like to lead, but she doesn't like to trail either. She likes to be in the thick of things, where she can survey what is going on both in front and in back of her. Because of her massive body, she has equally long strides, just like her sire, so is not afraid of running on the outside if she has to. She is also an excellent decision maker, so if she gets stuck in the pack she can usually find a way out without too much work on the part of her rider. Fire has a deep passion for anything she does, meaning that she will try her absolute hardest to make things happen. This makes her a strategic runner willing to take risks. The downside is the speed of her break; it takes a bit for her long legs to uncoil and get in order, but when they do she usually has no problems catching up to the field and taking the place she prefers in the middle of the pack.
